Actually, installment billing is cheaper more times then not compared to a standard discounted phone contract.

Not from what I've seen, but I haven't looked into the Verizon plans in full detail yet.

The issue at hand isn't even really the installments, its the data offerings are terrible for the money, VZW and ATT are at a point where their customers pretty much only can use them because Sprint and TMo suck where they live, or they are older ppl who dont use much data and dont upgrade much so none of this really matters.

People think the installments are cheaper

U paying for %70 of the phone for a year
Then forced to turn it back in and start over :dead: with a new phone

I would rather get a discounted phone oN a contract and use it past the contract

But now if the discounted phones gone

I would rather buy a phone that's older for as low as possible and say fukk leasing a phone

your not forced to turn anything in unless you lease a phone. Contract the "finance" price is baked into your plan, so you are paying for a discounted phone even if you never buy another phone again all because you thought you were juugin the system getting a phone for 200 on contract.

If u lease the phone you are forced into paying for it over and over

If u are on an installment u are paying more than what the phone is worth

If u get a discounted phone thru contract you are NOT even paying for the full price of 5he phone. If you are then u are an idiot to not know what your bill contains

That is why they are getting rid of discounted phones because the cell companies eat the cost.

lol man I`m getting tired of explaining this stuff.

Two yr contract plans cost more than "financing" plans, an iPhone isn't worth no damn 200 bucks, you pay 200 bucks and promise to stay for 2 yrs, the contracted plan cost more than a finance plan so even after 2 yrs you promised to stay your plan stays the same even if you dont get a phone. With a finance plan when you pay the phone off the plan drops in price. This stuff is basic math, so either you guys have never compared plans side by side or just are not good at math. IDK what else to tell you guys.

The plan drops in price because it was inflated in the 1st place :dead:

The iPhone is a ripoff compared to all phones anyway

I have a grandfathered plan with a military discount my shyt better stay the same cause it is lower than the plan u speaking of regardless

So I got a $$99 note 4 and not paying the balance of the retail ever
On a contract with unlimited everything

You damn right... :youngsabo:

But i usually buy from amazon, price is crazy high but the phone straight from the company is worth it. If you use alibaba or dhgate it's 50/50 from what i heard... :francis:

its inflated because you are subsidizing the cost and paying for the full price of the phone on the back end, after 24 months you are still paying for your inflated plan while someone on a financing plan at least gets a break, what is hard to comprehend about this??
